"Federal prosecutors in Virginia met remotely with Durham in August to understand the findings of his investigation, according to sources familiar with the meeting, and his conclusions raise the prospect that Durham -- who was once elevated by Trump and other Republicans believing he would prosecute high-level officials involved with the investigation of the president's 2016 campaign -- could now become a key figure aiding Comey's defense."
"Durham was going to be the anecdote to all the hoaxes that The Deep State concocted against Our Favorite President in his first term. He was going to expose all the spies, moles, and covert operatives working to keep America from Being Great Again. It ended in a spate of acquittals and towering bad faith. Comey himself warned Durham against "sliming" the Department of Justice's Inspector General, who had already trod the same ground Durham had walked in his investigation."
The administration sought a televised perp walk for James Comey involving FBI agents in SWAT gear, and one agent was suspended for refusing participation. Federal prosecutors in Virginia met remotely with John Durham in August to review his investigation and concluded his findings could position Durham to assist Comeys defense. Prosecutors also consulted a U.S. Attorney's Office team that had investigated Comey and found no chargeable offenses despite calling him before a grand jury in 2021. Durham had been elevated by Trump and allies to expose alleged Deep State operatives, but the efforts produced acquittals and raised questions about prosecutorial motives.
